The noodles are served with a rich variety of side dishes, including braised pork, eggs and vegetables. One of the eggs is made into a soft-boiled egg, and the other is beaten and mixed in the soup, which looks delicious. Xu Man took a sip of the soup with a spoon, and felt the hot soup flow down her esophagus into her stomach, bringing a warm feeling that made her whole body feel much more comfortable. She raised her head and smiled at Qin Shen: "It tastes good."
Qin Shen was stirring the soup and noodles with chopsticks. Hearing this, he smiled at her and said, "As long as you like it. I lived here alone before, and basically ordered takeout. I rarely cooked for myself. There was not much in the refrigerator. I searched for a long time before I found a bag of noodles and a few eggs. The meat and vegetables were bought outside. I can only make do with this meal for now. I'll go to the supermarket to buy it tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Xu Man nodded: "Well, I'll go with you."
The two of them ate noodles and chatted. Qin Shen ate quickly, but after finishing one bowl, he went to the kitchen to get another one. He put down his chopsticks at about the same time as Xu Man. After finishing, Xu Man stood up and wanted to take the bowl to the kitchen, but he took it away first: "Let me do it. You just sit here."
Xu Man blushed. She didn't know if he noticed her discomfort, but she was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable. She wanted to walk less, so she didn't insist. She withdrew her hand, sat back in the chair, and asked him to take the bowl to the kitchen.
If it was in the house she rented, she might have asked Qin Shen to just put the bowl in the sink and wait for her to wash it the next day. After all, he was the one who cooked the noodles, so it was fair for her to wash the bowl. But the last time she came here, she saw that the kitchen was equipped with a dishwasher, so she didn't say much and just sat quietly in the chair, waiting for him to come out of the kitchen.
"I want to take a shower." After Qin Shen returned to the living room, she said to him, "Where is the bathroom?"
"It's on the first floor." Qin Shen said, "I'll take you there."
Xu Man followed him to the bathroom, then went upstairs to her room to get a change of pajamas and common bath products. She took a good bath in the bathroom, washing herself from head to toe, including her hair. When she came out, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Something happened on the way that made her laugh and cry. When she put her changed clothes into the washing machine, she found that several clothes had already been put in there. Some were hers, and some were Qin Shen's. They were all clothes that the two had taken off before. They were piled together randomly, mixed into a ball, with a variety of colors. It was obvious that there was no awareness of sorting and washing.
She could only take them all out, re-sort them one by one and put them into different washing machines. Fortunately, Qin Shen just put them in and left it at that without starting the wash, otherwise the colors would have been mixed.
In addition, she also specially picked out the underwear of both people. She had to wash her own by hand. As for Qin Shen's, she washed them together after hesitating for a moment, but her cheeks couldn't stop getting hot during the washing process. She finally finished washing and put them in the dryer.
After everything was done, she returned to the living room. Qin Shen was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. When he saw her coming out of the shower, he stood up and smiled at her: "Have you finished your shower?"
"Yeah." She nodded in agreement, and lifted the hair beside her ear uncomfortably. "I just saw the clothes you put in the washing machine were all mixed up and not sorted, so I sorted them again and put them in to wash. Pay attention later, and remember to put them in the dryer after washing."
"Classification?" Qin Shen was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubt, "Do you need to classify the laundry?"
"Yes. Maybe your clothes are darker in color, so it's okay to wash them together, but I have a lot of light-colored clothes, and mixing them together will be more likely to stain..." She explained a few words, and seeing that he was still a little confused, she simply said, "Otherwise, let me wash your clothes in the future, so that you won't be able to tell the difference and ruin your clothes."
Anyway, there is a washing machine and a dryer in the house, and there are only a few pieces of underwear that need to be washed by hand, which won’t take her much time.
"That's fine." Qin Shen agreed immediately. It seemed that he really didn't understand the ins and outs of this. "Then I'll trouble you from now on."
Xu Man smiled reservedly, "You're welcome."
Although it was a little more work, she didn't feel it was troublesome at all. Instead, she felt warm, which was very similar to the feeling when she drank the hot soup before, making her feel comfortable and happy from the bottom of her heart.
No longer nervous or anxious, she began to look forward to their future life together.
…
When she returned to her room at night, Xu Man discovered another problem.
The first experience at noon not only left marks on her body, but also on the bed sheets. Not only were they badly wrinkled, but there were also spots of light brown blood and mottled light colors. The former is easy to deal with, as she just needs to straighten the sheets. The latter is a bit more difficult to deal with, as the spots are scattered over a large area. If she uses a wet towel to wipe it, a large area in the middle will get wet and she cannot sleep on it. But she finds it unbearable to just sleep on it and wait until the next day to deal with it.
Before, when she was extremely tired, she didn't feel it and a soft bed could make her fall asleep. But now that she has taken a shower, some of her cleanliness obsessions have come out.
The only remaining option is to change the bed sheets. I don’t know if there is a spare second set of bedspreads in this room. Otherwise, I can only go to another room to unpack a new set and use the sheets inside.
Xu Man searched the room but couldn't find a second set of bedding as a replacement, so she went to the master bedroom where Qin Shen was sleeping and knocked on his door.
When he opened the door and saw her, Qin Shen was obviously stunned.
"Xiao Man?"
Seeing his eyes quickly sweeping over her body, Xu Man realized belatedly that she had come to knock on his door in the middle of the night in a thin nightgown. This behavior seemed to have some special meaning. Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly said, "I want to change to a new bed sheet, but I didn't find a second spare set in the room, so I wanted to come and ask you, is there only one set of bed sheets for each room in this villa, and no second set for replacement?"
Qin Shen didn't react for a moment: "Why do you suddenly want to change the sheets? Don't you like that style?"
"No, it's just... it got stained." She answered softly with a blushing face, "So I wanted to change into a temporary one first, and then change back after it's clean."
Qin Shen understood now, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face. He clenched his fist and coughed dryly: "There should be, there is a second set in my room, and every room should be equipped with two sets."
"I've looked for it, but I can't find it anywhere."
"I'll go check." Qin Shen said, and went back to the room with her. He searched inside, but the result was the same as hers, he didn't find it.
"This is really weird, there should be a second set..." He closed the closet puzzled and turned to look at Xu Man, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow to wash the sheets? Or go to another room and get a new set to replace them?"
Xu Man glanced at the time. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. She felt embarrassed to trouble him to change into a new set of sheets, but she didn't want to sleep on this bed sheet full of mottled marks.
"Then where should I sleep tonight? I don't want to sleep here..."
"That's easy." Qin Shen said, "Just come to my room and sleep."
Xu Man was startled, she looked up at him, and seeing the smile on his face, she immediately understood his plan and felt embarrassed: "You..."
He really is good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes?
"How about it?" He walked forward with a smile and put his arm around her waist, "Come and stay with me for a night?"
...He actually exposed his thoughts so blatantly. Was he sure she wouldn't refuse?
Xu Man avoided his gaze, her face flushed, she couldn't tell whether she felt more helpless or more expectant, but she finally nodded and responded to his words in a low voice.
Although the first experience was not so good, and in the end I felt nothing but pain and discomfort, it does not mean that I should throw the baby out with the bathwater and resist this thing from then on.
She was quite looking forward to and curious about this. After all, it was the person she liked and she wanted to possess him and feel him more.
Besides, it’s normal for girls to feel uncomfortable the first time. It should be fine later, right?
She thought uncertainly.
"……good."
Qin Shen responded with a smiling kiss.
The two came to the master bedroom. Xu Man looked around and found that this bedroom was no different from hers, except that it was bigger and more exquisitely decorated. The style was also simple black and white, which was in line with the masculine bedroom tone.
The room was cleaned very cleanly, but personal belongings were placed rather randomly. There were a few cans of unopened beer on the bedside table, and a few clothes were hung messily on the sofa, obviously thrown there after being taken off. Her eyes stayed on them for a few seconds, and just as she was about to go forward to tidy them up, Qin Shen noticed her gaze, hurriedly took a few steps forward, picked up all the clothes, rolled them up, stuffed them into the closet, and smiled at her somewhat awkwardly.
"This place seems a bit messy, let me tidy it up."
Xu Man: “…”
This was the first time she had seen it organized like this.
Sighing, she walked to the closet, opened it, took out all the clothes he had just stuffed in, spread them out on the bed, and folded them one by one. She hung the clothes that needed to be hung on the hangers and folded the clothes that needed to be folded. Then she said to him helplessly, "Even if you want to wear these clothes the next day, you still have to fold them well, otherwise they will be wrinkled."
"It's OK." Qin Shen laughed dryly, "I seldom wear shirts, just T-shirts and jackets. It's okay if I don't fold them."
She turned around and said, "Then I won't help you tidy up anymore?"
Qin Shen was startled, and then he felt a huge surprise. He couldn't help but think about the hidden meaning behind this. However, he didn't feel comfortable throwing all the work to his lover. He lowered his head, smiled, coughed, and said, "I will sort it out myself in the future. You can just be in charge of supervision."
"Okay, that's what you said." Xu Man smiled.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed, the dim light from the bedside lamp shone on her face, making her look particularly soft and beautiful. Qin Shen's heart was moved, so he walked up to her and pushed her down on the bed, then leaned over to kiss her.
